WhatsApp quoteGoldenKey helps founders compare Dubai mainland with the nearby free zones honestly, because the right answer depends on where your customers are. Importantly, mainland company formation in Dubai is the right choice when your customers are inside the UAE, when you need a shop, clinic or contracting classification, or when visa quota matters. In our experience, the most common businesses Czechs open through GoldenKey are in engineering, glass and crystal, aviation and software, although Dubai supports almost any activity. In our experience, czech engineering and manufactured goods have a long-standing market in the Gulf, which gives Czech entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their Dubai licence is issued.
Why Dubai
Dubai mainland licences are granted by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), which currently processes most standard files in around 4 working days. A Dubai mainland company can apply for an unlimited visa quota in proportion to its office space, which free zone packages cannot match.
